Antibacterial protection in Marthasterias glacialis eggs: characterization of lysozyme-like activity
1Dipartimento di Biologia, Università di Lecce, Italy.
Abstract:
Eggs from Marthastherias glacialis exert antibacterial action on marine bacterial strains and show a lysozyme-like activity. This one depends on pH and ionic strength of sample and reacting medium. This hydrolase, purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, could be responsible for the bacterial growth inhibitory activity observed.
